[sword-devel] HTML5 front-end

[John Austen]

Yes, internet would be required to view, search, and interact with Bible 
texts in this case. But things like bookmarks and personal settings 
could be stored locally in cookies.

If someone wants a browser based offline SWORD program, the new xulsword 
(aka "Holy Bible") Firefox add-on would be an option (it is currently 
available for Windows, but a Linux version should be coming in the 
future). FireBible is another option which integrates into the browser 
more and also works offline. There may be other solutions as well.

The idea is to provide something with similar capabilities to their SWORD program: "Holy Bible", but instead using their server to provide cross-browser HTML/Javascript using AJAX.

It should be a fairly easy adaptation. If this works out, then this will be a nice server side SWORD implementation. SWORD modules would remain on the server, and large local storage would not be needed.

I know it is very difficult (it would probably require porting of a lot of C/C++ code to Javascript, also I have no idea how to store in IndexedDB or some other HTML5 storage something so huge as Bible text), but I am interested if anybody thought about something like that.
